Are you using some kind of 3rd party authentication like netware?  CVSNT 
isn't tested with those at all and may not work if they don't integrate 
with the system in the same way as normal domains or active directory.

I really don't see how you can be logging into a PC with a username that 
doesn't exist in the SAM database.  If it was part of a domain it would 
make sense but it's clearly not as the trace shows.

You don't need to bother with the admin file at all if you're an 
administrator on the box.  It's useful though to add yourself to make 
sure that it works (since checking for administor on Windows is a bit 
hit and miss sometimes).
